    Default Change class type with constructor

    So I changed String address to Address address with another class type I have declared. However my constructor can't accept the string for the address anymore. How do I initialize my address values for the objects I create with the constructor. My constructor is listed below.

    public Person(int id, String firstName, String lastName, Address address, long phone) {
    this.id = id;
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
    this.address = address;
    this.phone = phone;
    }

    If there are error messages, please copy the full text and paste it here.
    Also post the code that defines the variables defined in the class.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]

    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Change class type with constructor

    You have to create an Address instance, and then pass it to the Person class' constructor.
    For example:
    Address address = new Address("City name", "Street, house number, etc.");
    Person person = new Person(1, "John", "Doe", address, 1234567L);
    The constructor of the Address may be different than I used in the example.
